Lakeview Nursing Home Abuse

Compassionate Lakeview Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers Serving Victims

No one likes to think about it but sadly, quite a number of clients come to us complaining about one of the harsher realities of life – nursing home abuse. Among all the different types of personal injury claims, nursing home abuse is the one that distresses us the most. Once abuse is confirmed, it is time to spring into action to immediately halt the abuse and aggressively pursue compensation. You need understanding and proven Lakeview Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers by your side to help you.

Nursing Home Regulations

Nursing homes are extensively regulated by both the federal government and the Illinois state government. Discovering a regulatory violation and tying that violation to the harm done to your loved one is one of the most effective ways of winning a nursing home abuse claim. At Malman Law, our nursing home abuse attorneys are intimately familiar with these regulations.

Suing Versus Settling

Is it better to sue or to settle out of court? Our general answer is that in many cases it pays to do both – start off with a settlement demand, then file a lawsuit if the other side fails to cooperate. Ultimately, only the ability to win in court will convince a nursing home or insurer that it is best to settle. Even when a lawsuit is filed, a settlement is usually reached before trial. Discuss your case with our knowledgable Lakeview Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers at Malman Law.

A Word from a Satisfied Client

Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Steve and Kelly were great! The entire process moved much faster than we thought it would. We received a nice size settlement.

3) How long do I have until the statute of limitations deadline expires?

In Illinois, you have two years after the date of the harm to file a personal injury lawsuit; and two years after the date of death to file a wrongful death lawsuit. These deadlines can occasionally be extended for good cause (if the nursing home concealed the real cause of your loved one’s death, for example).

4) My loved one has no written contract with the nursing home. Will this defeat his claim?

No, although it might make enforcing certain types of purely monetary claims more problematic. Nursing home abuse claims, by contrast, are based on principles of basic human rights, not contractual obligations. In other words, your loved one doesn’t need a contract clause in order to enjoy the right to be free from abuse.
